Nakasendō Diary

Nakasendo Day 4 Start: 08:45 Finally cloudy and not so hot (22℃) 中山道の4日目は涼しくて良かったー 昨日の首と手の日焼けはまだ痛かったw ちょっと疲れたので短く、写真なしにしますね。 Today I’ll keep it short and without pictures because nothing much happened and I’m a bit tired and want to rest.

It is, but this motivation comes from Japans history – as during Edo time it...
